The Edge browser still works. Can you access those services through the browser? (I don't subscribe to either)

Honestly I just used the TV's OS to access the apps but I'll try and report back

 

[HRK69]

Gotta suck if you are on of those people who only has 55 minutes of free time a week

The future of gaming

Yes, for as long as there is technology there will be occasional issues. You can always go back to painting cave walls, I guess.

 

[azertydu91]

PSN isn't have issues it's just Xbox.

Yup can confirm that everything I tried works on ps5/psnow.

[Hoddi]

Yup can confirm that everything I tried works on ps5/psnow.

PSN, EA, Ubi, etc. are all fine. It's just Xbox that is down. Oh, and I can't use offline mode unless it's my hOMe COnsOLe bullshit.

Meaning that I have two Xboxes and only one of them works in offline mode with no way of switching. This company is so utterly incompetent that it boggles the mind.

I was wondering why I couldn't play a game to get my Reward points.

Oddly enough the mobile app works

 

[intbal]

Ha.
I just tried my Xbox 360.
It's still working fine with Xbox Live.

 

[nani17]

Here's a list of countries currently down

 

[dorkimoe]

The issue is my technilogy that I paid $500 for works fine, but they decided to lock offline play behind an online service?

 

[BlackTron]

? Wonder that why I use my Xbox more than ps5 when it comes to other media's stuff.

I mean I use a Series S for that mostly because it's the most power-efficient and I can put it in my TV stand without adding a fan.

 

[Pallas]

Tried it myself, if your Xbox is the home Xbox, just go offline, sign in and then go back online. You can use services like Netflix, Hulu, etc, and play games that don't require online services.

Several people on this very thread say they can play offline.

You can play offline if you're playing games you own on your home console.

If you're game sharing to play games you don't own you're fucked.

 

[Darko]

Can't play gears of war on pc… even single player

 

[nani17]

Wtf

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like the outage is fixed.

Able to sign in and play game pass games now.

 

[bitbydeath]

Wtf

Probably needs to be set to offline.
Minecraft does the same thing which is really annoying, always defaults back to needing online which pisses my kids off every time.

I tell them to play a real game.

 

[AJUMP23]

Fired up the nes and played punch out. I made dinner. Still no online service. No Elden ring.

 

[ManaByte]

Yes you can.

But you're trying to shitpost about GFWL and a game released over 15 years ago and there are fixes to play it now.

But most people would probably rather play the remaster.

 

[Goalus]

Great news.
Unfortunately it's bed time for me now. I had to read a book during the past two hours, not exactly how I imagined to spend my evening.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

You can play offline if you're playing games you own on your home console.

If you're game sharing to play games you don't own you're fucked.

Yes? That's the risk you run if you want to share games. If your internet goes down or the network is fucked then you are also fucked.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

We need more gangster rappers complaining about this. 50 Cent, Ice Cube where you at?! I'm tryna play Lords of the Fallen!

 

[Antwix]

Why? I'm playing Elden Ring just fine on xbox. It just prompts you to go offline. Hit OK. Done.

???

It's also back up now.

 

[Darko]

Yes you can.

I can't why would I make it up.. I think you have to log in the first time you play? Jeez calm down

Edit: I'm obviously talking about the version on gamepass.. asks for login on boot and there's no other menu.. offline is enabled in settings

 

[AJUMP23]

Because my wife was tired of my son playing so I put a code on the xbox. It will not log me in without the code checking on the server. So I am going to remove the code.

 

[jshackles]

Wtf

The only time I've experienced this personally was when I tried playing a disc game offline, but I had DLC or an addon installed and the console wasn't in offline mode. Not sure if Persona 5 has DLC or not, but that's probably what's causing this.

 

[Topher]

I can't why would I make it up.. I think you have to log in the first time you play? Jeez calm down

Yeah, every time I play an Xbox game on PC then it has to associate the game with my Xbox account. So Xbox being down would prevent that.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Diablo 4 still not working

Edit: Working now

Where is Ja rule when you need him!

Ahh got it.. I'll make sure to open each game prevent this next time

 

[splattered]

Xbox.com/status still says accounts are down, I haven't tried to play anything in hours though.

It will update shortly, can confirm everything is working fine here.

East coast. US.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

I just wanted to do my daily slay the spire run

 

[Clintizzle]

It's because of the preparation for releasing the ABK library on GamePass!

Halo infinite working on steam deck

Played First Descendant (barf), Fortnite, and Halo. Cashed in a $5 rewards card for the Halo operation pass. Everything is working.

I could not load Starfield.

 

[Moriarty1889]

It's times like these that make me love my PS3 and Xbox 360 systems and games.

 

[FoxMcChief]

You can go back to playing Starfield, fanboy!

 

[Hayabusabruh]

It's back up for me.

 

[Fake]

[Rhazer Fusion]

Yet people want an all digital, online future. Reasons like this is why I will never embrace it.

 

[Unknown?]

Yeah but get this- just imagine a future where you can ONLY play on the cloud and everything REQUIRES the internet for it to run? Isn't that an AWESOME future?!

Imagine this happening to banks. 95% of dollars are digital right now and there isn't near enough cash.

 

[Topher]

Just in the nick of time too...

 

[A.Romero]

Still down in Mexico.

Shit like this happens some times but I can't remember the last time I wasn't able to play something because there was an outage.

I prefer physical discs but it's not like it happens once a month or something
